Live Thread: Senate Amnesty Debate (CRITICAL 2ND CLOTURE VOTE TODAY!) Woo hoo!! It's DEAD!!
The U.S. Senate with Free Republic Input | June 28, 2007 | truthkeeper

Posted on 06/28/2007 6:25:57 AM PDT by truthkeeper

Here we are again my friends, hopefully for the last debate thread on this particular monstrous legislation. Proceedings are supposed to begin at 9:30 a.m. EST, with the cloture vote being taken at 10:30 a.m.

On a personal note, you've all been wonderful in your passion, vigilance, and commitment to the principles on which our country was founded. If I have to be in a foxhole, I want to be in it with you guys.

It just struck me as I'm listening to spinmyster, Kennedy... He's just like the MSM...he just makes things up and makes things sound more reasoned...but they're lies. Then, the Senators listen to this and, just like the masses listen to the seemingly more reasoned MSM, they think it must be a more reasoned approach.

Then, they have us on the other side yelling, "amnesty, amnesty, amnesty" and they never hear our point by point debate that makes WAY more sense and have more statistical anaylsis behind them than the spin by the other side. It just sounds like noise to them.

Also...Scottish Law Spector, makes me want to puke. (That was my emotional moment).

Specter is stringing together every new cliche and soundbite they’ve come up with in the last two weeks.

The man is a reprehensible liar.

I've posted this a couple of times, but once more won't hurt...

Senate Republican Cloakroom: 202-224-6191


Senate DemocRAT Cloakroom: 202-225-4691

The Senators hide out in the Cloakrooms (one for the 'Rats and one for the Republicans/RINOS) when they aren't on the floor. In there, they eat, drink, wheel and deal away our futures, and otherwise grouse about all the phone calls that their office staff are fielding from us. Don't let them have anywhere to hide from our opinions.


Let 'em know how you feel, at least until they stop answering Freeper's calls.

Specter is an idiot.

He’s not alone, over 50% of the senate is like lemmings going off a cliff

Spec-ta-tor = the family... the children... "Living in the Shadows in Fear"... I don't think it is amnesty....Amnesty is in the eyes of the beholder...

Once again this is the only chance we have to fix this problem??? Please...

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.

``But we are going to see the will of the Senate work one way or another.'' Arlen Specter

What matters is the will of the Senate, of course. The will of the people doesn't amount to a hill of beans when compared to the will of the Senate.

They are our betters, after all. They are wise, while we are a bunch of knuckle-dragging racist morons...

Arlen has said “imigrants” several times..he’s conveniently forgotten the adjective “illegal”

Burr, Webb, Bond, Domenci, Nelson are all NO’s

Thank goodness Pete's come to his senses. I have no idea what he was thinking earlier.

That’d be like Hillary Clinton backing Joe Liebermann at this point.

Do you (does anyone) know if there’s a link I can access to watch this? Is it on c-spam????

I'm so sorry. Yes, it is on C-Span2 and I forgot to title it. (I hardly got any sleep last night and still can't see straight.)

Would one of you fine FReepers might providing a streaming link to C-Span2 for the cubicle impaired? Thank you in advance.

Specter: Pointed out the 23 vote changes and is po'd about it. Begging the crowd to vote for cloture now. A good sign!
